I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman

To be fair, there’s a lot of left wingers who spend their day protesting government this and government that – all while collecting either welfare or unemployment insurance.

Still, I hold a fantasy that my comment on an earlier J/M cartoon about wearing special clothes to indicate modesty is in fact bragging or being prideful about it, may have had a tiny impact in creating this cartoon.

Hey, Butterflies and Wheels has an article that touches on this point. I love the bit where the author (Edmund Standing) says that non-Muslim Blair believes Islam to be a religion of tolerance and peace, but that imams need hundreds of thousands of pounds from the taxpayer to reach the same conclusion.

@Nina & Izzy. Indulge an old lady here.
By “tea-bagging”, do you mean what I think you think you mean (e.g. something to do with Sarah Palin and Tax) or do you mean what I thought you meant but, presumably must be mistaken in (i.e. the application of testicles to mouths).
Old age brings many confusions.

@ Nibien – I am not sure how you read my post to think I was referring to teabaggers – I know the political protestor kind is right wing – although the people do do the sex version can be any political stripe.

@Izzy – thanks, I am a centralist myself, but I see the characterizations of both sides, and neither side can claim a moral high ground over the other

well, I guess they can if they skew that moral measure to what they think morals is.

the only difference I see between the left and the right is that the left wants to control your public behaviour and the right your private behaviour

the original teabagging was the testical thing – see most any Sex in the City episode

but the right wing group is a tax revolt, so they think that they are referencing the boston tea party – they also have a lot of overlap with the “birthers” who refuse to accept that Obama was born American.

Damn it! I just wrote a comment with a bunch of links to episodes, and it didn’t get published! I’m trying again, without the link to J&M’s Russian translations page this time.
Anyway, my favorites are (by name): mass, crowd, money, dummy, park, bus, pill, greek, ugh
Re-sending, hopefull still.
